I'm looking at buying a game on Ebay, and the seller has some more. I don't know that I really NEED these games, or that anyone will play them with me, but they seem like for a lowish price they may be worth it (if I can combine shipping then the price will be lowish).

Here are the games, let me know if you think they're worth it (sorry for caps, c&p...):
CARCASSONNE - RIO GRANDE
KINGDOMS - FANTASY FLIGHT
GODSTORM BOARD GAME - AVALON HILL
WARCRAFT BOARD GAME - FANTASY FLIGHT
ORCZ - FANTASY FLIGHT

Other games I'm watching:
KING OF THE ELVES - RIO GRANDE
MISSISSIPPI QUEEN - Rio Grande
Nautilus - Mayfair Games

I need to know in an hour, so if you're online, drop me an IM!

Missed your deadline. What did you pick?

My two cents would have been:

I would pick up the Hunters and Gathers edition instead of the original Carcassonne. It sounds like a single-box 2.0 version with the best elements of the other games, and myself I like the theme. (You can try the different versions of Carcassonne for free on BSW.)

I traded away King of the Elves for Odin's Ravens. Never seemed to be fun for my group, though I know it's a popular choice with others.

Don't know enough about the other games.

That said, cheap games are always worth looking into. :)

Re: Should I buy these games?

UPDATE: I got outbid at the very last moment on everything except Kingdoms. This is how much these went for:
CARCASSONNE - RIO GRANDE - $17.50
KINGDOMS - FANTASY FLIGHT - $13.00
RISK: GODSTORM BOARD GAME - AVALON HILL - $27.00
WARCRAFT BOARD GAME - FANTASY FLIGHT - $23.50
ORCZ - FANTASY FLIGHT - $10.36

Still considering these:
KING OF THE ELVES - RIO GRANDE
MISSISSIPPI QUEEN - Rio Grande
Nautilus - Mayfair Games
War of the Ring - Fantasy Flight

I actually have H&G. I actually got outbid on Carc a while before the auction ended and decided not to bid higher- didn't really want it unless I could get it really cheap.

To tell you the truth, I don't really like Carc that much :/
